favor of a protective tariff to secure to AmeIi-
can citizens the privilege Of supplying every
article which can be produced as well in the

~tciently TO supply American wants. Such a
tariff makes a dewand for and gives en- Jloy-
ment to the labor OF American citizens, and
thereby aids In securing just compensation
for labor.

for revenue only Is strongly condemned.
